 Posted: Sat Oct 24, 2009 6:56 am Post subject: fuel line routing |
 |
|
I planned a route for the fire-sleeved fuel line to my AFP divider on top of the engine, which penetrates the cooling baffle through a large grommet. I'm wondering now if the grommet can take the high temperatures in there in the 10 minutes after engine shutdown.
I note that when Bart L. delivered the engine to me he had the fuel line penetrating the intercylinder baffle through a grommet (he didn't know I was going to use a crossover exhaust, so I had to re-plumb it to keep it away from the exhaust) so I guess that's where I got the idea. But now I'm wondering....

I've done this with my 6A and SJ cowl/plenum and have two of these grommets.
Pictures seperately - and to others that ask for them......

Hi Tom,
Attached are a couple of pictures of how I routed mine. I've got the 4-into-4 exhaust from Vetterman. The fuel from the TB to the distributor doesn't even come close to the exhaust. I would assume that the grommet comes with the Lycoming inter-baffle kit and is designed to handle the temps in that region. If you hear otherwise from Bart or some other authoritative source, be sure to post it to the List.

I wondered the same thing but was told the grommet I received from AFP was a high-temp grommet designed for these high temps. 100+ hrs so far and no problems yet.
